Louis  XIV  and  the  Grand  Conde. 

54  x 37 

Painted  to  order,  1878. 

{Extract  of  Letter  from  the  Artist.) 

“ In  order  to  deliver  your  picture  of  the  ‘ Reception  of 
the  Prince  of  Conde  by  Louis  XIV,’  I have  worked  upon 
it  without  intermission  to  reach  the  desired  end,  and  I 
hope  that  I have  succeeded.  I hope  also  that  you  will  be 
satisfied,  for  I have  done  my  best  to  arrive  at  this  result. 
A few  lines  about  the  subject  will  make  you  understand  it 
in  its  details.  The  reception  takes  place  on  the  grand 
staircase  at  Versailles.  This  staircase  no  longer  exists.  It 
was  destroyed  under  Louis  XV,  but  there  remains  an  en- 
graving of  it  at  that  time,  very  well  executed,  which  has 
enabled  me  to  reconstruct  it  with  truth.  In  the  year  1674 
Conde  had  returned  to  Court,  where  he  was  received  in 
triumph.  The  King  came  forward  to  meet  him  on  the 
grand  staircase,  which  was  not  his  usual  habit.  The  Prince 
was  going  up  slowly,  on  account  of  the  gout,  which  made 
him  almost  helpless.  As  soon  as  he  saw  the  monarch, 
‘ Sire,’  said  he,  ‘ I beg  your  Majesty’s  pardon,  to  make  you 
wait  so  long.’  ‘ My  cousin,’  answered  the  King,  ‘ do  not 
hurry.  When  one  is  so  loaded  with  laurels  as  you  are,  it 
is  difficult  to  walk  quickly.’  Louis  XIV  pressed  him  in 
his  arms,  and  embraced  him  repeatedly.  By  the  side  of 
Louis  XIV  stands  his  son,  the  Duke  of  Burgundy,  whom 
they  called  the  Great  Dauphin,  at  that  time  thirteen  years 
old.  He  died  while  young,  without  having  reigned,  and 
was  the  father  of  Louis  XV.  Behind  him  is  his  preceptor 
Bossuet,  Bishop  of  Meaux.  On  the  right  and  on  the  left 
are  members  of  the  Court.”

ALMA  TADEMA  (L.)  R.  A.  . . . London 

The  Picture  Gallery. 

23  x 30 

This  represents  a Gallery  of  Antique  Paintings.  Several 
visitors  are  making  good  use  of  the  catalogues  and  refer- 
ences which  they  have  found  in  the  boxes  on  the  tables. 
On  the  easel  is  a Monochrome  by  ‘‘Apelles  ” ; above  which 
appears  part  of  a large  Picture,  taken  from  the  great  Mo- 
saic in  the  Naples  Museum,  which  is  probably  a copy  of 
the  painting  “ The  Battle  of  Issus,”  by  Philoxenos,  of 
Eretria.  The  Picture  over  the  doorway  might  be  attributed 
to  Marcus  Ludius,  the  inventor  of  that  most  charming  and 
well-known  architectural  decoration  in  which  Pompeii 
abounds.  Through  the  doorway  is  seen  another  work, 
taken  from  a Mosaic  in  the  Naples  Museum,  representing 
“ Strength  Captivated  by  Love.”  The  life-size  figure  is, 
by  some  archaeologists,  believed  to  be  the  “Medea”  by 


15 


Timomachos  of  Byzantium,  which  picture  Julius  Caesar 
bought  from  the  artist  for  40  talents  (£8,000)  for  his  col- 
lection in  the  gardens  on  the  Tiber,  and  left  by  will  to  the 
Roman  people.  Next  to  this,  “ The  Sacrifice  of  Iphi- 
genia,”  by  Timanthes,  is  a picture  much  praised  by  ancient 
writers;  to  the  right  appears  a foreshortened  Lion,  which 
there  is  reason  to  believe  is  the  work  of  Pausias,  who  is 
said  to  have  been  the  first  to  paint  objects  in  foreshorten- 
ing, and  never  to  have  been  surpassed  in  that  branch  of 
art.  The  Picture  above  it  represents  “ A Theatrical  Re- 
hearsal,” taken  from  a Mosaic  in  the  Naples  Museum. 

These  pictures  have  recently  been  engraved  by  A.  Blanchard.

Dated  1878. 

Lucy,  scarcely  yet  recovered  from  the  bewilderment  of 
her  terror  and  the  faintness  of  her  swoon,  clings  with  all 


22 


her  light  weight  to  the  stranger’s  arm,  while  yet  she  seems 
to  be  urging  him  onward.  There  is  a look  of  entreaty, 
blended  with  trust  and  helplessness,  in  the  beseeching  blue 
eyes  and  in  the  wistful  face.  The  plaid,  which  she  wears 
in  the  graceful  old  Scottish  fashion,  folded  mantilla  wise 
over  her  head  and  shoulders,  still  wet  with  the  water  he 
has  used  to  restore  her  to  consciousness,  clings  closely 
round  the  fair  face  and  neck  and  slender  figure  Her  small 
gloved  hands  are  clasped  clingingly  round  his  strong  arm. 
He,  with  knit  brow  and  dark  eyes  fixed  in  a far-off  look 
— it  may  be  that  he  now  first  sees  the  enemy  of  his  house, 
the  author  of  his  father’s  ruin  and  death,  the  usurper  of  his 
birthright ; or  that  he  already  reads,  as  in  a vision,  the 
mysterious  interweaving  of  his  fate  with  that  of  the  inno- 
cent daughter  of  his  and  his  house’s  enemy,  who  clings  to 
his  arm,  with  dreamy  eyes,  that  seem,  like  his  own,  to  see 
far  into  the  future.

{Extract  of  Letter  from  the  Artist.') 

“ The  subject  is  a representation  of  what  is  usually  to  be 


23 


seen  in  the  business-room  of  an  ‘agent,’  where,  as  our 
Scottish  Burns  expresses  it,  ‘ Puir  tenant  bodies,  scant  o’ 
cash,’  drop  in  one  after  the  other  to  pay  rents  and  arrears, 
often  with  great  difficulty  to  themselves,  and  sometimes 
not  without  unwillingness,  even  when  they  can,  from  a 
failing  not  uncommon  in  frail  human  nature,  viz.,  a dis- 
taste to  part  with  the  cash.  The  agent,  accustomed  to  the 
work,  and.  used  to  the  many  complaints  of  ‘ high  rents, 
hard  times,  failure  of  crops,’  etc.,  takes  it  all  as  a philoso- 
pher, and  quietly  listens,  chats,  and  nibs  his  pen,  having 
but  one  point  in  view — getting  the  cash.  The  particular 
incident  illustrates  what  is  not  uncommon — a difficulty  in 
arranging  contra-accounts,  and  for  work  ‘done  for  his 
Honor,  and  which  his  Plonor  said  himself  was  to  be  de- 
ducted from  the  rint.’  The  Lady,  who  is  sometimes  the 
better  man  of  the  two,  is  active  and  looking  after  their  in- 
terests, knowing  that  a mistake  might  be  made  ; while  the 
clerk,  likely  to  be  more  sharp  than  polite,  feels  that,  in  his, 
for  the  day,  imposing  and  responsible  position,  he  is  called 
upon  to  look  closely  into  such  charges,  if  a mistake  exists, 
it  may  be  in  their,  favor,  and,  in  all  probability,  will  in  the 
end  have  to  refer  the  matter  to  his  superior.  The  other 
figures  are  all  accessories  of  the  same  story  : The  man  com- 
ing in  warm,  rubbing  his  head  with  his  kerchief,  chatting 
to  the  old  man  of  the  weather  and  the  hard  run  he  has  had 
to  be  in  time  before  his  Honor  got  busy,  as  he  had  to  go 
look  after  some  heifers  in  the  field  bey  ant  Patsy  Conroy’s 
after  he  had  done  his  business  ; another  stooping  to  pick 
up  some  papers  he  has  dropped  out  of  his  hat ; while  the 
agent's  * own  man  ’ is  seen  coming  in  at  the  door  with 
some  books  which  will  be  required  in  the  course  of  the 


24 


day.  This  is  something  like  what  I intended.  After  the 
warm  reception  the  picture  has  met  with  in  Paris,  I think 
I may  venture  to  hope  it  will  still  add  to  my  reputation.”

“ Believe  me,  I consider  it  a great  honor  to  have  one  of

I will  take  every  pains  with  your  picture,  not  only  for  my-

ing shall  be  neglected  in  the  finishing  of  it,  as  I wish  with 
all  my  heart  to  give  you  satisfaction.  * * * The  sub- 

ject of  the  painting  is  ‘ The  Portrait.’  A young  lady  of 
noble  birth  is  having  her  portrait  painted.  She  is  sitting 
on  a stairway  covered  with  rich  tapestries.  An  attendant 
amuses  her  with  some  music.  A young  man  near  her  is 
held  by  her  conversation  and  the  animation  of  her  face.  In 
the  foreground  is  the  artist  with  his  easel  and  canvas. 
While  he  works  a group  of  lords  contemplate  the  picture. 
At  the  left  a page  prepares  some  refreshments.  The  cos- 
tumes are  of  Holland,  early  in  the  seventeenth  century.”

( Extract  of  a Letter  from  the  Artist.) 

“ The  title  of  my  picture  is  ‘ The  Arrest  of  an  Ambu- 
lance, Eastern  Part  of  France,  January,  1871/  They  are 
civil  Ambulanciers,  who  have  been  taken  by  a Prussian 
patrol  in  a village  where  a battle  has  taken  place.  When 
their  papers  have  been  examined  and  recognized  in  order 
by  the  Prussian  general,  they  will  be  released  and  author- 
ized to  collect  the  wounded  and  assist  in  the  German  in- 
firmaries. The  spot  where  the  scene  is  laid  is  a village  in 
Franche-Comte  ; they  have  fought  there  ; the  Germans  oc- 
cupy it.  The  foot-soldiers  who  surround  the  ambulances 
are  Prussian  Chasseurs  (Rheinisches,  jager,  Batallion  No. 
8).  The  Prussian  general  is  accompanied  by  an  officer  of 
the  Hussars  (Leibhusarem,  Regiment  No.  2),  and  by  an 
officer  of  the  staff ; his  cap  and  cloak-facing  of  amaranth. 
The  two  other  officers  are,  the  one  in  blue  tunic  and  yellow 
collar,  an  officer  of  the  Dragoons  ; the  other,  an  officer  of 
the  Cuirassiers  (Brandenburgisches  Cuirassier,  Regiment 
No.  6,  Kaiser  Nicholas  I.  von  Russland).  The  dead 
body  in  the  foreground  is  that  of  a Bavarian  foot-soldier. 
Those  are  also  Bavarians  who  are  at  the  end  of  the  street, 
and  at  the  entrance  of  the  house  under  the  fafade,  and 
pierced  by  bullets.  Here  are  very  minute  explanations, 
but  I thought  that  Mr.  Vanderbilt  would  be  pleased  to 
have  all  possible  details  about  his  picture.  I hope  that  he 
may  be  satisfied  with  it,  and  that  it  will  receive  many  com- 
pliments.”

Exhibited  in  the  Paris  Salon  of  1859,  and  the  Universal  Exposi- 
tion of  1867.  Purchased  1882. 


“ The  Salon  of  1859  contained  five  compositions  ; one 
was  a chef  d’oeuvre,  the  Gorges  d’Apremont,  in  the 
evening  when  the  sun  sets  behind  the  mountains  of  Roche- 
fort. It  is  the  hour  when  the  cool  air  touches  the  earth 


39 


and  strikes  the  trees,  prognosticating  the  arrival  of  night. 
The  circle  is  vast,  the  rocks  which  tower  above  it  have  a 
dry  and  primitive  look,  making  a fitting  place  for  a noctur- 
nal visit  of  Macbethian  witches.  Nothing  is  exaggerated 
or  too  nervous  in  this  picture,  which  is  painted  with  a light 
touch,  perfectly  representing  great  calm  and  serenity  of 
the  atmosphere.” — Alfred  Sensier’s  “Life  of  Rousseau,” 
1872.

peared ended.  But  in  the  village  church,  eight  French 
officers  and  about  twenty  men  still  resisted  ; they  defended 
themselves  to  the  last  extremity,  and  it  became  necessary 
to  fire  musketry  through  the  windows  and  bring  cannon, 
before  the  remnant  of  this  heroic  band  would  surrender.”

Pia  de  Tolomei. 

39  x 56 

Dated  1876. 

Extract  0/  a Letter  from  the  Artist. 

“ I have  received  with  great  pleasure  your  obliging  letter. 
No  one  can  be  more  sensible  than  I to  the  expressions  of 
sympathy  which  it  contains.  You  must  have  already  re- 
ceived the  picture  of  * Pia  de  Tolomei,’  which  I have  painted 
for  you.  I will  give  you  the  passage  of  history  which  in- 
spired my  work.  Pia,  of  the  noble  family  of  the  Tolomei, 
of  Siena,  was  shut  up  in  a castle  of  the  Maremma,  by  her 
husband,  Nello  della  Pietra,  who  accused  her  of  infidelity. 
The  poisoned  air  of  this  region  killed  her.  I have,  then, 
imagined  her  upon  the  terrace  of  the  castle,  strong  in  her 
innocence,  and  defying  her  evil  destiny.  Pia  has  been  for 
many  years  a favorite  subject  with  Italian  painters  and 
poets.  Her  story  is  a mysterious  one,  and  her  personality 
has  always  attracted  a noble  sympathy.  Dante,  who  places 
her  in  his  ‘ Purgatory,’  devotes  to  her  only  a few  lines  of 
the  Fifth  Canto,  but  these  few  lines  are  a poem  in  them- 
selves : 

‘Ah  ! when  thou  hast  returned  unto  the  world, 

And  rested  there  from  thy  long  journeying. 

* * * * * 

Do  thou  remember  me,  who  am  the  Pia? 

Siena  made  me  ; unmade  me,  Maremma  ; 

He  knoweth  it  who  has  encircled  first, 

Espousing  me,  my  finger  with  his  gem.’  * 

“Alfieri  has  written  a fine  tragedy,  and  many  poets  have 


* The  death  of  Pia  de  Tolomei  occurred  in  the  year  1295,  or  thirty 
years  before  the  birth  of  Dante  ; so  that  at  the  epoch  at  which 
Dante  wrote  his  poem,  the  event  must  have  been  fresh  in  memory 
of  men  in  Tuscany. 


45 


sung  the  beauty  and  the  sad  fate  of  Pia  de  Tolomei.  You 
know  my  aspirations.  I do  not  need,  therefore,  to  tell  you 
what  an  attraction  this  noble  and  touching  figure  must  have 
for  me.  I have  exerted  myself,  therefore,  to  the  utmost  to 
paint  the  subject  as  it  presents  itself  to  my  imagination. 
My  artist  friends,  and  others  in  whom  I place  great  con- 
fidence, have  praised  the  picture  very  highly  ; and,  for  my 
own  part,  I am  well  pleased  that  this  picture  is  to  go  to 
you,  for  I consider  it  not  only  one  of  my  very  best  works, 
but  also  one  of  the  most  affecting  that  I have  painted.”

From  the  Hartmann  Collection,  Paris,  1881. 

In  a letter  addressed  to  his  friend  Thore  in  i860,  Millet 
refers  to  this  picture  as  follows  : “In  the  woman  coming 
from  drawing  water,  I did  not  try  to  portray  a servant, 
but  a wife  who  had  just  drawn  water  for  her  household 
needs,  the  water  with  which  she  makes  her  husband’s 
soup,  and  that  she  should  appear  to  be  carrying  neither 
more  nor  less  than  the  weight  of  the  full  pails  ; that  through 
the  kind  of  grimace  that  is  forced  on  her  by  the  dragging 
down  of  the  arms  and  the  half-closed  eyes,  that  just 
allow  her  to  see,  one  could  divine  on  her  visage  an  air  of 
rustic  goodness.  I have  avoided,  as  I always  do,  with  a 
sort  of  horror,  anything  that  turned  toward  the  senti- 
mental ; I wished,  on  the  contrary,  to  show  her  accom- 
plishing with  simplicity  and  willingness  an  act  which  is, 
with  the  other  household  duties,  an  every-day  part  of  her 
life.”

The  Sower. 

32  x 41 

“While  patiently  studying  the  action  of  his  reapers, 
Millet  produced  a figure  which  had  long  occupied  his 
thoughts.  We  know  what  a serious  affair  the  sowing  is  to 
an  agricultural  people.  Plowing,  manuring  and  harrow- 
ing are  done  with  comparative  indifference,  at  any  rate 
without  heroic  passion  : but  when  a man  puts  on  the  white 
grain-bag,  rolls  it  around  his  left  arm,  fills  it  with  seed,  the 
hope  of  the  coming  year,  that  man  exercises  a sort  of 
sacred  ministry.  He  says  nothing,  looks  straight  before 
him,  measures  the  furrow,  and,  with  a movement  cadenced 


61 


like  the  rhythm  of  a mysterious  song,  throws  the  grain  which 
falls  to  the  earth  and  will  soon  be  covered  by  the  harrow. 
The  rhythmic  walk  of  the  sowrer  and  his  action  are  superb. 
The  importance  of  the  deed  is  real,  and  he  feels  his  re- 
sponsibility. If  he  is  a good  laborer  he  will  know  how 
much  seed  to  throw  with  every  fling  of  his  hand,  adjusting 
the  amount  sown  to  the  nature  of  the  soil.  I have  seen 
sowers  who,  before  they  put  foot  upon  the  field,  would  toss 
a handful  of  grain  into  the  air  in  the  sign  of  a cross  ; then, 
stepping  upon  the  field,  they  would  pronounce,  in  a low 
voice,  some  indistinct  words  which  sounded  like  a prayer.” 
The  “ Sower  ” was  sent  to  the  Salon  of  1850,  then  held  at 
the  Palais  Royal  ; it  made  some  noise  ; the  young  school 
talked  about  it,  reproduced  it  in  lithography,  and  it  has 
remained  in  the  memory  of  artists  as  Millet’s  chef-d'oeuvre . 
Theophile  Gautier  was  touched  by  it.  In  the  following 
quotation  we  see  the  impression  made  by  this  virile  work  : 
“ ‘ The  Sower,’  by  M.  J.  F.  Millet,  impresses  us  as  the 
first  pages  of  ‘ Mare  au  Diable  ’ of  Georges  Sand,  which  are 
about  labor  and  rustic  toil.  The  night  is  coming,  spread- 
ing its  gray  wings  over  the  earth  ; the  sower  marches  with 
a rhythmic  step,  flinging  the  grain  in  the  furrow  ; he  is  fol- 
lowed by  a cloud  of  pecking  birds  ; he  is  covered  with  dark 
rags,  his  head  by  a curious  cap.  He  is  bony,  swart, 
meager,  under  this  livery  of  poverty,  yet  it  is  life  which 
his  large  hand  sheds  ; he  who  has  nothing  pours  upon  the 
earth,  with  a superb  gesture,  the  bread  of  the  future.  On 
the  other  side  of  the  slope  a last  ray  of  the  sun  shows  a pair 
of  oxen  at  the  end  of  their  furrow,  strong  and  gentle  com- 
panions of  man,  whose  recompense  will  one  day  be  the 
slaughter-house.  This  is  the  only  light  of  the  picture, 


62 


which  is  bathed  in  shadow,  and  presents  to  the  eye,  under 
a cloudy  "sky,  nothing  but  newly  plowed  earth.  Of  all 
the  peasants  sent  to  the  Salon  this  year,  we  much  prefer 
‘ The  Sower.’  There  is  something  great  and  of  the  grand 
style  in  the  figure,  with  its  violent  gesture,  its  proud  rag- 
gedness, which  seems  to  be  painted  with  the  very  earth 
that  the  sower  is  planting.” — (Sensier’s  “ Life  of  Millet.”)
